Why are bone dragons here? This place is just a world that suddenly appeared in the crack, and it shouldn't have any connection with the Six Realms. Even Feng Rong and Yuan Qi lost their power when they came here, so how did these bone dragons get here?
Upon closer inspection, the group found exactly six bone dragons inside, the same number as the dragons that had suddenly vanished from the Demon Realm. Had they escaped to this world? But why had they ended up in such a tragic state? You You glanced at them and immediately saw that they were lifeless; in other words, the bone dragons had long since died.
“Feng Rong.” You You turned to look at the person beside her, “Could they really be…”
“It’s those dragons!” Feng Rong nodded affirmatively, otherwise they wouldn’t be carrying the same demonic energy as him.
“This formation…” Yuan Qi stepped forward and examined the huge golden formation in the stone chamber closely, his brows furrowing even deeper. “The formation has been absorbing their demonic energy and cultivation. These bone dragons died because their cultivation was completely exhausted.”
"Absorbing demonic energy to enhance their cultivation?!" You You and Feng Rong were both shocked, even more confused. "Isn't there no demon race in this world? Why are they extracting demonic energy?"
Yuan Qi shook his head, he couldn't figure it out either. He examined the array again carefully and said, "This array should be the foundation of all the arrays on the main peak. All the arrays are based on it, interdependent. The arrays that suppressed demonic energy that we saw on the way here were just demonic energy emanating from here. Most of the demonic energy should have been transported elsewhere by the arrays." He needed to go inside and examine the array closely to find out its exact location.
"Let's go in and take a look!" Youyou suggested, and stepped directly into the stone gate, just about to examine the direction of the demonic energy.
Suddenly, the entire stone chamber shone with golden light. The already dazzling array seemed to be stimulated by something, turning the surroundings into a golden hue. Even the dense demonic energy inside was penetrated by the light and dissipated directly. The ground shook violently.
Youyou was startled. What happened? Had she triggered some mechanism? She subconsciously turned to look at Yuan Qi.
The other party was also taken aback. He had checked the magic circle repeatedly before and found that it did not have any counterattack effect. Why was there such a strong reaction all of a sudden? It was as if... it had suddenly become stronger.
Before the group could react, a female voice, tinged with anger, rang out within the magic array, "Who dares to trespass into the Heavenly Punishment Prison?!"
Damn! We've been discovered.
"Xiao You, leave here first!" Yuan Qi's expression changed, and he reminded them in a deep voice. This main peak is strange in every way; who knows what else might be there? They must proceed with caution.
Without hesitation, Youyou turned around and led the two of them back to the passage they had come from. After a short while, a bright light suddenly appeared in front of them, and white array walls appeared in front of them, as if closing some kind of gate.
"Let's go this way!" Feng Rong pointed to the other side.
Youyou immediately turned and ran to the other side, but the surrounding magic arrays lit up even more, constantly closing in on them. She had no choice but to summon her spirit sword and fly away with the two of them at breakneck speed.
She was flying so fast that she didn't have time to see the road clearly. She was just avoiding the magic arrays that were getting closer and closer. In addition, there were many passages in the area, so she couldn't tell which way to go and was just flying blindly.
Finally, it flew out of the passage and into a vast space that resembled an underground city, stopping in front of hundreds of Jinglingyuan monks who were holding weapons...
Youyou: "..."
Feng Rong: "..."
Yuan Qi: "..."
Was this considered a voluntary gift from them?
Although You You had already concealed her presence, her sudden intrusion naturally attracted everyone's attention. In an instant, all the cultivators turned to look in their direction. Although most of their gazes were not focused on the three of them, it was clear that someone had broken in.
"Who goes there!" one of the cultivators demanded, and instantly dozens of divine senses swept over the area.
"..." Is it still useful to pretend you're not here now?
Youyou didn't move or answer, so she could only communicate telepathically with the two people beside her, "What do we do now?"
"Let's wait and see; they shouldn't be able to see through your magic," Yuan Qi replied.
I understand. As long as she's not embarrassed, then it's others who will be embarrassed.
As expected, the dozens of divine senses swept past her without affecting her at all.
The three then looked around and saw that they were in a huge space, as if it had hollowed out most of the main peak, with layers upon layers of various magic arrays all around.
The group of cultivators opposite them were standing on a floating platform in the middle. Below the platform was a thick, dark expanse, with countless demonic energies surging within, seemingly about to burst out at any moment, yet they were suppressed by layers of golden arrays.
Youyou instantly understood where the demonic energy from those bone dragons had been drawn to—this was the place.
Upon closer inspection, above the arrays suppressing demonic energy, countless thin lines made of spiritual energy were connected, seemingly continuously infusing the arrays with spiritual power. This spiritual energy came from all directions, carrying various chaotic auras, as if belonging to different people.
Youyou realized, "Those thin threads are the spiritual power of the cultivators who came to participate in the Holy Ceremony!"
The two were also startled. Yuan Qi took a closer look at the layers of formations and reminded them, "That's right, this is the center of all the formations in Jingling Academy. The cultivation formations they set up on Fufeng are connected to this place, and the spiritual power of all cultivators is transferred here."
"They set up that cultivation array to suppress the demonic energy here?" Feng Rong frowned, somewhat puzzled.
“It shouldn’t be just that,” Yuan Qi said in a deep voice. “There should be some other formation beneath this demonic energy.”
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, a bright light suddenly appeared on the central platform, sweeping across the surging demonic energy below. The layer of demonic energy that had filled most of the space seemed to breathe, and it descended a bit. After a while, something slowly rose up again, forming a layer of shimmering light above the demonic energy, and then flowed out along the wisps of spiritual energy on the array.
"It's spiritual power!" Not only Yuan Qi, but even Feng Rong, the demon god, was startled. "Just now, the demonic energy... turned into spiritual power!" How could this be?
The vanished demonic energy suddenly transformed into rich spiritual power, which flowed back into the spiritual energy threads of the cultivators. Moreover, it was so pure and clean that there was not a trace of violent demonic energy in it.
The three of them were stunned by this amazing scene. They never expected that the rich spiritual energy in Jingling Temple was actually converted from demonic energy!
No wonder they have no shortage of spiritual energy and generously invite cultivators from all over the world to come here to cultivate. It turns out they can convert demonic energy into spiritual energy, and have even nurtured several spiritual veins with this demonic energy.
